new information about pioli and it involved peyton manning

We got some deep cover stuff to release now. This hits Facebook first so those on Twitter, click the link to read.

This is a note from one of the ace reporters with SOC and a long time friend.

****
Latest email I got is that Clark isn't ****ing around, which is obvious from interviews. I've been out most of the day, but the email came in before Clark went on the air.

The directive is no one from the football operations side is to speak until their final notice has been given either with a termination or a return.

Clark is trying to force Pioli's hand and have him quit. Clark had a heated discussion with Scott this morning according to this email. Clark told him he won't have any say in this head coach because "this head coach will be here longer than you will".

Then there's this piece of info. Clark talked with Peyton Manning at length Sunday night. He wanted to know why the Chiefs weren't considered and everything Peyton said pointed the finger squarely on Pioli. Said Pioli's rep across the league is terrible. His inability to foster a "team" environment instead of one ruled like a dictator was huge too.

This really pissed Clark off. I said in a previous post that the loss could have triggered all of this, but it's apparent the PM discussion could have as well.

I'm completely shocked to say the least. Everything, and I mean everything, I've been told paints Clark as someone with a school boy crush on Pioli.

Clark wants to make a splash. He also wants to save the money from just firing Pioli. With all the lawsuits that former employees have pending against the Chiefs that list Pioli, Clark may have a case to fire him with definite cause.

I just heard that Hunt has apparently decided to hire the head coach himself because it opens up options to perhaps hire some of the more high-profile head coaching candidates out there. This makes more sense, I think.

It's pretty well-known that some of the "high-profile" head coaches who have been sitting on the sidelines the last few years have decided not to accept positions as a head coach because they are not allowed to make personnel decisions. With an open line from the head coach to the owner, it now opens the door for the Bill Cowhers and Jon Grudens of the world.

Anyone else concerned that Hunt may follow the footsteps of Al Davis and Jerry Jones? Hunt DOES have offices in Dallas. Is it really a stretch to think Hunt has received some kind of "advice" from Jerry Jones?

Gawd i hope not from Jones. Let him keep screwing up his own team and leave KC alone.

If Clark is supposedly hiring the next HC and cutting Pioli out of the football operations side of the business then why keep him at all? Makes no sense to me. His scouting is obviously ridiculously sub par, his picking of coaches is awful, and his overall win loss record SHOULD speak volumes to Clark. I just don't get how he can justify keeping him at all. Here's hoping Clark is actually searching for or has a GM candidate in mind and is waiting on them to accept before canning Potato Head.

That the sticking point right there that may have swung Clark. If it did actually happen, then thank you PM. It was stated elsewhere regarding Pioli's treatment of Bill Kuharich when Pioli first arrived & that Kuharich was a good friend of the Manning family, so it could all add up.

Kcvet posted this link in another thread, I'll re - post it here, one on one interview between Clark and Holtus - One on One: Clark Hunt

The main thing it confirms...Pioli is on the outs concerning the next head coach. "The HC will report to me." Clark Hunt's words.

Exactly, this report is bs I think. On the other I saw some bs about an interview with Ferentz on Wed. I hope Hunt isn't even wasting his time interviewing someone with a horrible college coaching record from a horrible team.
